Motion Paths Stopped Working after File Open and Closed

Hello,

I created a complex animation in this powerpoint file:
[URL="http://www.haafiz.com/AnimationBroken.pptx"]http://www.haafiz.com/AnimationBroken.pptx[/URL]

After I finished it, I closed it and reopened it some time later. To my
horror, 3 of the rectangles that had a series of motion paths on them stopped
working completely. All their custom animations just stopped working (Run
the slide show and click the mouse button to start the animation...notice
that the trucks aren't carrying anything).

So I thought maybe those were too complex and created similar motion paths
again for the objects that didn't work, but I made them disappear after a few
steps and a replacement object appear in it's spot. But then I closed the
file and reopened it, and same thing!

Can anyone help me out to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

That's really odd. I had a play with one of the 'crate' rectangles and I
can't get it to animate at all - I even tried copy/pasting it to another
slide and giving it appear/disappear effects but nothing happens. I tried
round-tripping via HTML (which is good at stripping out corruptions) but
that didn't help either. How did you create the shapes? Have you used code
at all?

BTW, it's really cool . I would spread the animations over several slides
though to make editing & reviewing easier.

Sorry not to be more help.
